	abstract = {The OASIS pre-ICIS 2022 workshop calls for submissions that take a value-reflective and critical stance on digital transformation. While researchers have paid great attention to understanding how digital transformation can uphold and better the status-quo, there is an emerging awareness of negative consequences and new socioeconomic challenges triggered by digital technologies. Indeed, we face a multitude of societal and organizational issues that digital technologies have the potential to amplify or alleviate; depending on which values we value. The ubiquity of computing blurs boundaries between work and life. Always-on engenders a contorted reality of self and others, yet it also enables flexibility and autonomy. Artificial intelligence (AI) can fuel discrimination, undermine freedom of speech or disassemble entire democracies, while it can also drive progress in society and economy for instance, by helping people with disabilities, optimizing energy generation and consumption, or supporting the development of new drugs. All too often, digital technologies are built on the principle of privacy violation rather than of privacy as a basic human right, and security is used as an argument for enhanced surveillance and control rather than for human wellbeing and protection in the digital sphere. At the same time, we have to tackle social and environmental sustainability issues such as climate change, poverty and inequality in which digital technologies can take a positive role. All this calls for a value-reflective stance and exploration of the criticality of digital transformation. After all, we must acknowledge that any attempt to leverage technology for good can also have negative corollary effects. Hence, the OASIS pre-ICIS 2022 workshop aims to promote research that engages and reflects the value positions and criticality in digital transformation research. We propose an inclusive agenda embracing the more traditional IFIP 8.2 community while being open towards other relevant topics outside IFIP 8.2.},

Through our case study of Fonterra, the world.s largest exporter of dairy ingredients, we seek to explore whether multisourcing is a viable IT sourcing strategy. From the Fonterra case, we found that the benefits of multisourcing IT infrastructure stemmed from an ability to lower IT costs, improve IT service levels and enable access to specialist vendors and emerging technologies. The costs and risks of IT multisourcing were centered on the ongoing management of vendors and the underlying importance of a service management layer in organizations.},

This paper discusses, conceptually and empirically, the role of geographic ICT (geoICT) and virtual globes (e.g. Google Earth) at the interface of public policy and citizens. Our preliminary findings from on-going field work in an Indian city and in Zanzibar suggest that virtual globe technology can potentially transfer to citizens surveillance power, traditionally held by the government. Starting from the traditional electronic government framework, where bureaucracy acts as a filter between policy makers and citizens with grievances, we outline an emerging framework where commercial virtual globes act as mediators between policy-makers and citizens. We show that the emerging framework holds the potential of allowing citizens concerned, in our case, about the quality of water services, to influence policy makers directly. The virtual globe acts as a mirror to the traditional eGovernment framework and lends a different societal visibility both to public services provision, and to localized citizens{\textquoteright} needs.},

	abstract = {Background: In Geographical Information Systems issues of scale are of an increasing interest in storing health data and using these in policy support. National and international policies on treating HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) positive women in India are based on case counts at Voluntary Counseling and Testing Centers (VCTCs). In this study, carried out in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, these centers are located in subdistricts called mandals, serving for both registration and health facility policies. This study hypothesizes that people may move to a mandal different than their place of residence for being tested for reasons of stigma. Counts of a single mandal therefore may include cases from inside and outside a mandal. HIV counts were analyzed on the presence of outside cases and the most likely explanations for movement. Counts of women being tested on a practitioners{\textquoteright} referral (REFs) and those directly walking-in at testing centers (DWs) were compared and with counts of pregnant women.Results: At the mandal level incidence among REFs is on the average higher than among DWs. For both groups incidence is higher in the South-Eastern coastal zones, being an area with a dense highway network and active port business. A pattern on the incidence maps was statistically confirmed by a cluster analysis. A spatial regression analysis to explain the differences in incidence among pregnant women and REFs shows a negative relation with the number of facilities and a positive relation with the number of roads in a mandal. Differences in incidence among pregnant women and DWs are explained by the same variables, and by a negative relation with the number of neighboring mandals. Based on the assumption that pregnant women are tested in their home mandal, this provides a clear indication that women move for testing as well as clues for explanations why.Conclusions: The spatial analysis shows that women in India move towards a different mandal for getting tested on HIV. Given the scale of study and different types of movements involved, it is difficult to say where they move to and what the precise effect is on HIV registration. Better recording the addresses of tested women may help to relate HIV incidence to population present within a mandal. This in turn may lead to a better incidence count and therefore add to more reliable policy making, e.g. for locating or expanding health facilities. {\textcopyright} 2010 Kandwal et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.},

	abstract = {R\&D has always been considered a strategic asset of companies. Traditionally, companies that have their own R\&D function are better prepared to compete in the globalized economy because they are able to produce the knowledge and technology required to advance products and services. SMEs also need to become highly innovative and competitive in order to be successful. Nevertheless, their ability to have an internal R\&D function that effectively meets their innovation needs is usually very weak. Open innovation provides access to a vast amount of new ideas and technologies at lower costs than closed innovation. This paper presents an action research study being carried out at University of Minho to develop a business model and technology platform for an innovation brokering service connecting ideas and technologies being developed at Universities with the specific innovation needs of SMEs. The expected contributions of the study include the empirical investigation of the effectiveness and risks of crowdsourcing innovation when applied in the socio-economic context of a European developing country where SMEs represent 99,6\% of the businesses.

	abstract = {Managing strategic contradiction and paradoxical situations has been gaining importance in technological, innovation and management domains. As a result, more and more paradoxical instances and types have been documented in literature. The innovators dilemma is such an instance that gives a detailed description of how disruptive innovations affect firms. However, the innovators dilemma has only been applied to large organisations and more specifically industry incumbents. Through a multiple case study of six eLearning SME{\textquoteright}s, this paper investigates the applicability of the innovators dilemma as well as the disruptive effects of Web 2.0 on the organisations. Analysing the data collected over 18 months, it was found that the innovators dilemma did indeed apply to SME{\textquoteright}s. However, inline with the original thesis the dilemma only applied to the SME{\textquoteright}s established (pre-2002) before the development of Web 2.0 technologies began. Furthermore, the study highlights that the post-2002 firms were also partly vulnerable to the dilemma but were able to avoid any negative effects though technological visionary leadership. In contrast, the pre-2002 firms were lacking this visionary ability and were also constrained by low risk profiles.

Digital Earth) are revolutionizing the way we use and produce geo-information, we still lack a rich conceptual understanding of how genuine human actors use geo-information and associated technologies in real work settings. In this paper, we conceptualize the use of geo-information as encompassing people{\textquoteright}s actual use practices, the values to which people aspire through geo-information use, and the rules that either legally prescribe or just encourage optimal use. Values, practices and rules can be illuminated from two perspectives (or lenses), the market and the polis, resulting in radically different insights on the use of geo-information as a social phenomenon. We argue that with a polis lens we stand a chance to explain how authentic human actors, groups and communities with different values, interests and motivations use geo-information, and how societal benefits materialize or not as a result. Seen from a polis lens, values are not easily measurable standards of goodness, dominant public management ideas can be the source of technical-organizational change in government while policies can be fruitfully examined as persuasive arguments to target audiences. With a polis lens, we are more likely to understand the emergence of new practices, value contests and global rules underpinning commercial virtual globes and scientific cyber-infrastructures. {\textcopyright} Springer-Verlag 2009.},

	abstract = {Information technology vendors are continuously growing into global service providers. To reap the benefits of the changing global economy and gain a competitive advantage, providers need to see their client relationships as strategic assets and
 leverage them for expertise development and knowledge integration. How do IS service providers absorb knowledge from client
 relationships over multiple projects at multiple levels? How do IS service providers transfer and disseminate knowledge internally
 at and across multiple levels and integrate it to generate value-creating competencies? These questions are investigated in
 a longitudinal qualitative study employing interpretive case-study methods. The case included in the analysis is a 4-year
 IS outsourcing project between a large European bank and one of the largest Asian service providers. Services were delivered
 through a global virtual team, including offshore and onshore locations, and a particular strategy was employed to transfer
 knowledge cross-functionally, integrate this knowledge internally within the organization, and utilize it effectively in the
 global service delivery system. However, our initial analysis of the first interviews reveals that there was a discrepancy
 between the expected and actual performance of the service provider. Accordingly, the knowledge transfer and management processes
 need to be analyzed in more detail. With this research study, we aim at contributing to the domain of IS offshore outsourcing
 and services science as well as to the theory on vendor capabilities and knowledge management.

	year = {2008},
	month = {2008},
	pages = {365 - 366},
	abstract = {The information services view engenders a conceptual shift from the provision of defined and predetermined services to an environment that enables users to select and integrate information services in the ongoing creation and recreation of unique information systems. The information
 services view (ISV) conceptualizes technology as an ensemble of facilities that perform an action or function on the users{\textquoteright}
 behalf. The vision of ISV is the realization of user-enabled, real-time production of ad hoc information systems.
 The ISV specifies that users of services are intelligent actors who are able to compute seamlessly across contexts and recognizes
 that services developers may not know how their services are going to be used but instead develop a reflective environment
 where users{\textquoteright} thinking and redesign is supported. The ISV represents a dramatic shift in design from provision of a fixed,
 externally controlled service set to design of {\textquotedblleft}a space of potential for human concern and action{\textquotedblright} (Winograd and Flores 1986,
 p. 37).
 The ISV is a supplementary view of technology (Orlikowski and Iacono 2001) which focuses on the realization of flexible service
 development that engages users as secondary developers for which the technology bar was previously unacceptably high. Although
 new configurations for information systems can result from versioning or specific design changes, the evolutionary trajectory
 and evolving nature of systems is commonly the result of user-initiated mutability (Gregor and Jones 2007) or tailoring (Germonprez
 et al. 2007). The ISV embraces processes by which developers/providers expose information and allow user-initiated selection
 and configuration of services that fit {\textquotedblleft}the idea of the arising of something from out of itself, or emergent properties, and
 behavior{\textquotedblright} (Gregor and Jones 2007, p. 326).
 The ISV distinguishes between the initial design and the ways of doing design and requires that attention be paid to the different experiences, perceptions, intentions, and goals that the user will use
 to recreate the design of the information system. It also aims to create a phenomenological potentital for action in which the user tailors the information system and develops uses in new contexts or for new tasks (Germonprez et al. 2007).
 The ISV moves away from a dominant approach in systems design to over-engineer the information technology artifact through
 a restricted set of data structures, interfaces, and reporting systems, so that a limited range of work practices are allowed.
 By standardizing information gathering and presentation, many approaches produce and reproduce error by restricting the ability
 of users to reflexively and skillfully adjust their practices and computing systems to support changing goals, use patterns,
 and tasks. The ISV requires the support of classes of tasks, use patterns, recognizable conventions and components, and metaphors
 that the end user reflects on and engages during use. The ISV suggests that it is incumbent on designers to build a flexible,
 holistic picture of what services are and how they can create novel recombinant information systems.

This takes forms ranging from telemedicine consultations to using simulations and information and communication technology representations to plan, and at times, perform clinical procedures such as are done in intensive care units or in surgery. The increasing reliance on computer-mediated interaction in health care generally is considered the means to more efficient, equitable, and cost-effective care with reduced errors. Clinical work, then, may be carried out with simulated images and processes rather than through such physical processes as examining the patient directly. Instead of treating the actual person, one result may be that clinicians are treating computer-mediated representations of that person. This session explores virtuality in health care environments, with a particular focus on the virtual patient. Panelists discuss treating representations of patients by addressing how: (1) usability studies reveal the extent to which physicians may pay more attention to representations of the patient condition rather than to the actual patient, (2) images may be considered as more real than the patient, (3) different graphic representations of patient data have different consequences, and (4) virtuality affects quality of care in virtual intensive care units. From different research and theoretical perspectives and studies in these different environments with different technologies, panelists discuss repercussions of virtuality on teamwork and service delivery in health care. Their presentations of developments leading towards virtual patients point towards significant issues of virtuality in other environments.},

	pages = {137 - 150},
	abstract = {Social exclusion is a multi dimensional phenomenon that manifests itself in the exclusion of an individual from one or more of the four following activities: production of goods and services, consumption, civil engagement, and social interaction.
 Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have been argued to have the potential to reduce these forms of social exclusion.
 However, the extent to which they deal with these different forms of social exclusion remains unknown. Therefore, in this
 study we examine how ICT policies in South Africa are being employed to reduce social exclusion. In particular, we analyze
 which dimensions of social exclusion are targeted in telecommunication laws and one of the ICT initiatives of the South African
 government, Multi-Purpose Community Centers (MPCCs). Using a framework that portrays the four forms of social exclusion within
 the discourses used in phenomenon debates (redistributionist, moral underclass, and social integrationist) for analysis, we
 find that ICT policies in South Africa address two of the four forms of social exclusion: production of goods and services
 and civil engagement, spanning both the redistributionist and social integrationist discourses of social exclusion.

 partially related. We first examine the literature currently available in relation to women, age and ICT work, arguing that
 age tends to be the forgotten variable in research on women in ICT. Using eight case studies of individual female ICT professionals
 in their twenties, thirties, forties, and fifties, we explore the nuances of experience these women have in relation to their
 career and their caring responsibilities. We consider the possibility that women in ICT may have heterogeneous experiences
 of working in what are often {\textquotedblleft}masculinized{\textquotedblright} environments related to, but not determined by, their age. Based on our interpretations
 of our empirical data, we adapt Super{\textquoteright}s career-stage theory to better frame our subsequent theoretical assertions. To conclude,
 we suggest that exploring age, life stage, and/or career stage in relation to female ICT professionals{\textquoteright} circumstances and
 experiences means that we can better theorize gender in the field of information systems, and hence develop more relevant
 gender inclusion strategies.

	title = {Right on Time: Understanding eGovernment in Developing Countries},
	year = {2006},
	pages = {73 - 87},
	abstract = {Many, if not most, developing countries today engage in electronic government (eGovernment) projects. There are big hopes, not just for modernizing government and making it more effective and efficient; eGovernment is also expected to drive the
 general development toward the information society, both by examples of good practice and by major investment. However, many
 sources claim that the project failure rate is high. Reasons are found in many places, but it is reasonable to summarize them
 by saying that project goals are too ambitious given existing production capacity. Hence there is need to find ways of choosing
 and defining projects so that they meet the conditions in the country and sector where they are going to be implemented. To
 do so, this paper presents two tools, a checklist and a maturity model, for assessing the preconditions for eGovernment projects
 in developing countries. The under-lying data sources are threefold: eGovernment readiness indexes, project experiences, and
 assessments of social and political conditions. The checklist matches requirements for successful eGovernment against supply
 and demand side factors, hence providing a guide in choosing which projects to initiate and which to avoid. The maturity model
 supports mapping projects on a wider development agenda, hence helping avoiding dead ends such as investing in unused technology,
 or supporting dysfunctional processes with ICT (information and communication technology) instead of first redesigning them
 and then putting in ICT that support the new and better processes. In particular, the tools show the close relation between
 eGovernment and other development agendas, for example education, investment policies, or telecom (de)regulation. Without
 alignment with such programs, eGovernment is likely to fail. The two tools help make factors pertinent to success and failure
 more explicit and hence improve decision making.

	year = {2006},
	pages = {295 - 316},
	abstract = {This paper centers on the emergent phenomenon of weblogging. Even though the total number of weblogs is increasing at an exponential rate, little formal study has been done on this phenomenon. This paper provides two main contributions. First, it describes
 the phenomenon of weblogging and conceptualizes it, discussing significant attributes of weblogs that set it apart from traditional
 communication means. Second, it establishes a framework grounded in the theory of communities of practice that provides a
 lens to study the potential role of weblogging in organizational communication. The research approach is qualitative and analysis
 is done by interpreting the content of a weblog through a hermeneutic approach. Weblogging can be seen to foster social inclusion
 based on its characteristics and nature. Our study shows that by its features of interaction and informality, weblogging cultivates
 social inclusion, particularly that of employees working in a corporation. The paper concludes by reflecting on the potential
 of weblogging for enabling informal means of communication in organizations.

	title = {Women and ICT Training: Inclusion or Segregation in the New Economy?},
	year = {2006},
	pages = {185 - 202},
	abstract = {With the digital revolution narrated as the means for social cohesion in the globally competitive national economy, policy and corporate moves are afoot to increase the inclusion of women into the ICT arena, particularly those who have traditionally
 remained on the fringes of societal inclusion such as lone women parents. By equipping them with ICT skills, such as network
 engineering, and utilizing their {\textquotedblleft}soft{\textquotedblright} relational expertise, greater employ ability and opportunity is seen as the route
 toward inclusion. Yet a tension emerges between policy and practice, where such women are finding it hard to gain work, for
 the ICT industry, renown for its long hours culture, is slow to implement government recommendations for greater work flexibility
 and their soft skills remain unrecognized. This paper positions this tension within a wider labor market background that focuses
 on part-time work, for a general lack of full-time flexibility means women with care responsibilities have a limited range
 of employment choice. Part-time employment is frequently reflective of dead-end jobs and a catalog of inequalities, where
 occupational segregation and discrimination point to the feminization of low-level ICT skills. This gendered relation to the
 labor market is hidden by the narrative of inclusion through ICT skills acquisition. Furthermore, the relational association
 reduces women and men to normative gendered identities and roles which will do little to challenge existing stereotypes of
 technical expertise. The paper concludes that rather than inclusion, the possible result is further gendered inequalities
 and exclusion.

	abstract = {Advances in mobile technology have created a fertile ground for the development of new and innovative information and entertainment services. However, the road from development to commercialization of these services is one that is currently under construction. In this research, we seek to understand the relationships between developers of information services and the powerful mobile network operators that dominate the industry, which in turn shed light on the forces shaping the diversity of information sources on the mobile Internet. To understand these relationships, we have undertaken a research project in which we follow the attempts of a small firm to commercialize their information service in the United States. The project combines knowledge of industry structures with the first-hand market entry experience of a small firm. Results derived from the application of an institutional economics theoretical lens indicate that informal institutions, technology, and market power have combined to create the context for mobile services provision, which can be characterized as a highly fragmented market. This market fragmentation, together with technology, market power, and informal institutions, defines the choices application developers must make and indirectly determines the developers who will and will not be able to enter the market.},

	abstract = {Information systems as a discipline has recently been under pressure to justify its existence as a core subject within the management curriculum. There has also been recent pressure about the relevance of the IS research agenda. These are pressures felt at the more general level of business education as well, and calls have been made for business scholars to take a more holistic approach to scholarship as well as to make more explicit links to the practice of business. We take the position in this paper that the pressures can be addressed in one way by renegotiating the notion of scholarly critique. Specifically, we reconnect the idea of critique to that of crisis and attempt to show how crisis has the potential to reengage the IS scholar with praxis and help bring the often disparate projects of research, teaching, and consulting into an integrated scholarly enterprise.},

	abstract = {The phrase best practice has entered into common parlance in contemporary business discourse, yet recent research has shown that the construction of industry standards and their inscription into software packages is not straightforward. Organizations increasingly find they are bound to accept project outcomes that have emerged as a consequence of negotiations between an installed base of consultancy or software vendor solutions and local context. We adopt a narrative approach to analyze the negotiation of a best practice design during the implementation of an ERP system. Having adopted the position that the IT artifact is part of an ensemble of networked agencies that shift over time, we then use an actor-network perspective to trace the different sources, agencies, and affects of inscription during the ERP project. Doing so highlights the politics involved in localizing an IT artifact and the issues raised when software vendors and sector specific partners collaborate with the intention of manufacturing a commercially viable ERP package intended to represent the embodiment of best practice. The paper contributes to IS research discourse by demonstrating the application of narrative analysis in longitudinal interpretive field studies.},

	abstract = {Actor-network theory studies provide detailed accounts of how human and nonhuman actors gradually form stable actor networks. However, due to their focus on a particular context, there is little generic guidance on how such relevant actors can be identified when a different research context is under study. The principles of (human) stakeholder behavior presented in this paper guide the identification of human stakeholders through an iterative, interpretive, dynamic and context-contingent process. We show how they can be adopted and extended to include the identification of nonhuman actants as well. Thus, we argue that they can be instrumental in providing a generic, context-free guidance to stakeholder identification that is currently missing from ANT studies.},

The aim of this paper is to provide a detailed presentation of the range of methods chosen to detail the rigor maintained in the research process associated with interpretive IS research. This paper illustrates how methods that are described as visual methodological techniques can be applied to an Information Systems study. With the presentation of this detail, it is hoped other IS researchers can reflect on their own practices when conducting interpretive research projects in comparison with those chosen for this project. The paper bridges the theoretical background of existing literature to illustrate how the exploration of method and research practice contributes to the examination of a chosen research topic.},

Based on successful cases of Information Systems action research we explore the role played by conventional research methods in developing and presenting research contributions. The cases suggest that action research lends itself strongly toward multi-method approaches and facilitates the creation of multicontribution projects. We identify two approaches to mixing action research and conventional research methods{\textemdash}the planned and the emergent approaches{\textemdash}and we argue that action research can be adopted in ways that are no more risky than other conventional approaches to Information Systems research.},

The elements of realism described are connection of the particular with general, contribution to knowledge, and construction of alternatives. The critical aims entail a commitment to emancipation, a focus on issues of equality and inequality, a questioning of the status quo, and a challenging of ideology. One key conclusion for practice concerns the alliances for researchers with less conservative members of organizations in order to avoid compromise on emancipatory aims. The contribution of the paper is summarized in a concluding table.},

Our results are that interpretivist research and the use of qualitative methods have increased significantly and that only 22 percent of included papers generate theory or concepts according to a narrow definition of theory based on Walsham{\textquoteright}s classification; the majority of WG 8.2 researchers thus appear reluctant to generalize to theory from their findings, particularly when undertaking interpretivist research. However, using a wide definition of theory that includes researchers{\textquoteright} own theory used in their papers, we suggest that additional theory is in fact being generated although in a non-explicit manner.We close by pointing out the benefits of theory generation, inviting WG 8.2 researchers to make their use of theory more explicit and to familiarize themselves with the view that there are forms of generality which are possible within the interpretivist paradigm.},
